It's a little boy, named Brinley Malcolm. They're calling him Brin. Dad is from England and it's a family name, but it sounds a little girly to me. I like Malcolm better. What do you think?

Brynlee (prf this spelling) is definitely a girls name, and so is Brynn, imo. I LOVE Malcolm though.

I actually got it right. I do think it is a feminine name but it is really a boy name being used for girls or at least has the potential to be used for girls.

I think this name is all girl. I love the name but cant picture it on a boy at all. When you say Brin it reminds me of calling a little girl Britney Brit. Just my opinion.

All I did was vote, I haven't read anything else, yet. I voted in a blank spot. To me, it's not a name. It sounds made up. My mother was friends w/a female named Brynn. But that was her whole name. But I just don't know about Brinley. The Brin part looks boyish (Brian) and the ley part sounds boyish (Lee) but Brin reminds me of that lady named Brynn. So I don't know....

Oh wow! A BOYS name, huh? Interesting! You'd think they'd spell it Brinlee and call him Lee as a nn or Mac for Malcolm!

It seems a little mean-spirited to publically criticize another person's baby name choice.

You're right, it probably is. The choice just kind of threw me, and rather than gossip with other people that know them, I thought I'd just bring it up here. It may be "public", but it's anonymous.
